I’ve always wanted centralized bookmark. There have been many days when I’m at home at think to myself, “Damn, I wish I had remembered to bring that bookmark home from work.” And there have been a few tries at it. Firefox has a extension that allows you to keep all your bookmark the same on all your computers. Or you could keep them all on a wiki. Or you could now use del.icio.us to track your bookmarks for you.

del.icio.us is a cross-browser solution to centralized bookmarks. They give you a link that you click on when you’ve found a page that you want to bookmark. You give some brief information on the link and submit it. They also give you a page that you can access to browse your links to find that stupid bookmark you made 2 months ago (by default chronological ordering, which is how I always kept mine anyway) and also a search feature. Or for those of you who are RSS inclined, they give you an RSS feed of bookmarks, so you could see what other people are bookmarking.

The basic usage is pretty simple. But they also incorporate another feature that allows you to categorize your bookmarks (and search other peoples bookmarks) by Tags. Tagging things is a new trend in the internet content arena that I’ll spend more time discussing tomorrow.

My bookmarks can be accessed here: http://del.icio.us/billnapier

The RSS Feed of my bookmarks can be found here: http://del.icio.us/rss/billnapier

(Many thanks to Boing Boing for bringing this to my attention.)
